Your data: export & deletion

Your data is yours. You can pull all of it out as CSV whenever you want, on every plan, and you can delete a whole workspace when you're done with it. Here's exactly how both work, and where the edges are.

Exporting your data

CSV export lives in one place: Settings → Export. It's not a per-page button scattered across the app — it's a single tab that lists every dataset as its own download tile. Click a tile and that dataset comes down as a CSV named after it.

The available datasets are:

• Shows, Contacts, Releases
• Income, Expenses, Budgets
• Crew, Crew pay
• Gear, Gear maintenance
• Merch sales
• Tasks
• Documents

Every one of these is free on Free, Plus, and Pro — export is never gated. The one exception is the royalty CSV (writers and splits per show), which lives over in the Shows area and needs Plus or Pro. See Tracking money and Managing shows for where those numbers come from.

Two honest limits worth knowing:

• Documents export is metadata only. The CSV lists each file's name, type, size, category, notes, and storage path — but the actual files stay in storage. Download the files you need directly from the Documents module.
• There's no single "download everything" archive. You export dataset by dataset. That covers all your records; it just isn't one button.

A good habit: if you're about to delete a workspace, run through the Export tab first and grab anything you want to keep.

Deleting a workspace

Deletion in ArtistHQ removes an artist workspace and everything inside it — not your personal login. Your sign-in email and account stay put; you can still belong to other workspaces.

To delete a workspace:

1. Go to Settings → Danger zone. This tab only appears if you're the workspace owner or admin.
2. Click Delete "[your band name]".
3. In the confirmation dialog, type the band's name exactly to unlock the button, then confirm.

This is immediate and permanent. Deleting removes all associated data — shows, releases, contacts, files, money, everything — and it cannot be undone. There is no grace period and no recovery window, so make sure your exports are done before you confirm.

If you're not the owner — you're an admin, manager, or member on someone else's workspace — you won't see the Danger zone. Instead, use Leave workspace (in the Team section) to remove your own access. You lose access until someone re-invites you; the workspace and its history stay intact for everyone else.

What we don't do (yet)

To be straight with you: there's no self-serve way to delete your personal ArtistHQ account itself, separate from deleting workspaces. If you need your login and personal record erased entirely, contact support and we'll handle it.
